Brief Description: "Originally published in Great Britain in 2013. Published by arrangement with Buster Books, an imprint of Michael O'Mara Books Limited."Brief Description: "Twins Matt and Em are animare. They have the ability to bring art to life, but someone wants to use their power to unleash demons from Hollow Earth where they are locked away. A journey through time will be necessary if Matt and Em are to stop this plot"--Publisher Marketing: In this thrilling sequel to "Hollow Earth," Matt and Emily must stop someone from unleashing an army of mankind's worst nightmares. In the Middle Ages, an old monk used his powers and a bone quill to ink a magical manuscript, "The Book of Beasts." Over the centuries the Book, and the quill, were lost. Twins Matt and Emily Calder are Animare--just like their ancestor, the monk. The things they draw can be brought to life, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Now Matt and Em are being watched--hunted--because only they can use "The Book of Beasts" and the bone quill to release the terrible demons and monsters their ancestor illustrated. And someone is tracking down the lost "Book of Beasts," page by page, and reassembling it. Matt and Emily have no choice: They must get to the bone quill first...before somebody gets to "them."
